As HR professionals are becoming more technologically proficient, we have the capability to implement new, more efficient systems. By implementing a HR application network, we enable work and increase the value of our company’s output.
This webinar will outline the cost and benefits of HR suite solutions that deliver integrated HR, Payroll, Employee Time, and Benefits. It will compare the HR suite approach to a true application network approach that can bring best-in-class boutique applications for each HR function and reduce vendor lock-in. HRIS Solution Architect Steve Pruneau will explore the idea of an app network strategy which includes integrating specialty apps from different vendors, each selected based on how they will meet your company’s needs.

HR Suite App Network
Benefits ● One vendor - single point of accountability.
● HR and IT departments relieved of oversight: integration
between app “modules”.
● No vendor lock-in. They know you
can switch. They know switching
one app is less disruptive.
● Best-in-class. Get exactly what
your business needs.
● Keep options open. Take an
incremental approach to enabling
your organization as it evolves.
Costs ● Vendor lock-in and on-going license fees.
● Very high cost of implementation.
● Never best-in-class for all modules.
● “Seamless Integration” still a myth in many app suites.
● HR owns issue diagnosis and
resolution.
● HR owns vendor management.
● Need a proficient HRIS
professional on retainer or on staff.
